SECTION 10. The cost of transporting any persons committed to a State
industrial farm shall be paid by the county from which the prisoner
is committed, and the sheriff of the county shall receive the same
mileage, and fees for prisoners committed to a State industrial farm
as are now allowed by law for transporting prisoners committed to the
State penitentiaries. When any prisoner is discharged from a State
industrial farm the superintendent thereof shall procure for him a
railroad ticket to any point to which said prisoner may desire to go
not farther from such State industrial farm than the point from which
he was sentenced, and it shall be the duty of the superintendent, or
his duly authorized agent, to accompany the prisoner to the railroad
station, deliver the ticket to the proper railroad conductor, and
formally release the prisoner on the train which he takes for his
destination.
SECTION 11. It shall be the purpose of every State industrial farm to
employ the prisoners committed, or transferred thereto, in work on
or about the buildings and farm, and in growing produce and supplies
for its own use, and for the other institutions of the Commonwealth,
in the preparation of road materials and in making brick, tile,
paving material, and such other products or materials as may be
found practicable for the use of the Commonwealth, or any political
subdivision therein, and in other industries which may be approved by
the board of managers of the State industrial farm and the Committee
on Delinquency of this Commonwealth. Should any State industrial farm
produce supplies or materials in excess of its needs and demands, or
in excess of the demands of the Commonwealth, or of any political
subdivision thereof, such surplus may be sold by the Committee on
Delinquency at the prevailing market price.
SECTION 12. Any State industrial farm shall make such reports and keep
such accounts as are now or may hereafter be required by law, and shall
in all such matters be subject to the rules and regulations established
by the Committee on Delinquency.
SECTION 13. The original cost of the site and buildings of any
State industrial farm, and all additions thereto, and all fixed
overhead charges in conducting the institution, shall be paid by the
Commonwealth out of moneys appropriated for the purpose by the General
Assembly.
The cost of the care and maintenance of the inmates of such institution
shall be certified monthly to the counties from which inmates shall
have been committed. Such cost shall be paid by the counties in
proportion to the number of days spent by the inmates committed from
each county. All payments shall be on requisition of the board of
managers and on warrants of the county commissioners countersigned by
the county controller.
SECTION 14. (Provides for transferring prisoners from one institution
to another, if deemed advisable.)
